Enchanting heritage hotels, horseback safari & Taj Mahal

Silent hallways suffused with silvery moonlight, filtering through ornate balconies, now and then coming alive with the delicate footfalls of a comely maiden and the swish of her “Ghaghara” (Indian skirt), seeking her beloved: images that make up romantic tales since the first one was narrated by some animated village raconteur to a rapt audience on an equally silent tropical night; his voice betraying every emotion of that anxious girl! Hushed corridors and frightened young women, sneaking out of their homes to meet their lovers, are metaphors used by the tellers of romances all over the world. But the settings in Rajasthan make it appear as if all that happened nowhere but here! Sand dunes bathed in moonlight, palm trees swaying gently in the midnight breeze, anxious lovers whispering undying love for each other in deep shadows cast by imposing forts standing stoically, keeping a timeless vigil, as the inhabitants sleep soundly within all scenes from Rajasthan a land that has chivalry and romance seeping out from every grain of sand. What better place for a celebratory break for the newlyweds and the evergreen romantic!
“Rangeelo Rajasthan” is a festive journey specially designed for honeymooners and couples planning their wedding anniversaries!
All accommodation has been selected with the utmost care and diligence, keeping in mind the spirit of the tour and colors of Rajasthan. So, take pleasure in the marvels of this desert state: menacing yet magnificent forts, fairy-tale palaces, lilting music and lively dances, and fine rides on famous Marwari horses, across open fields and through idyllic villages, with distant views of the Aravalli hills. Camp in the wilderness, like maharajas, and gyrate to the music and dance of the Thar Desert! In spite of all the grandeur of Rajasthan, a romantic journey to India would be incomplete without a visit to the lake city of Udaipur, and the ultimate cherry on the cake, that most enchanting of all monuments created by man the Taj Mahal. This wonderful celebratory interlude begins in Agra, and concludes in Udaipur!
